Status in “ultrastar-ng” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ultrastar-ng

Bug with ultrastar-ng 0.2.1-1, tested with both -xine and -gstreamer.

When I start ultrastar, this message appears in the console :

>>> Scanning /home/mathieu/.ultrastar/songs/: 1 song files found.
>>> Scanning /usr/local/share/games/ultrastar-ng/songs/: 0 song files found.
>>> Scanning /usr/local/share/games/ultrastar/songs/: 0 song files found.

>>> Recording from alsa
-!- ALSA snd_pcm_hw_params_set_access failed: Argument invalide
>>> Recording from gst

And ultrastar does not hear my voice. The microphone works fine in other applications.
